Downgrade to 1.5 and then use the custom firmware to use 2.8 games. But be warned firmware 2.8 so far is not downgrade able so you could never use the CDs again!

If you update to 2.80 you will never be able to use CS again, until they find a downgrader for it...which is a long way off.

Except for a few games, you should be able to play 2.8+ games on Dark_AleX's Custom Firmware 2.71 SE-B". It is a Customized firmware allowing you to play games that require 2.80 while staying on 2.71. Also, with 2.71 or 2.71 SE-B" you can always downgrade if you dont like it.

Check out my sig for instructions. Its mainly focused around running GTA: VCS but thereis some SE-B" stuffin there too

I said use the 2.6 downgrader that goes to 1.5 then with 1.5 you can use a program that lets you choose your firmware and you can use 1.5 to 2.8. Use google to find the stuff.

Its easier to use the 2.71 Generic Downgrader. QJ Hosts all the files, as none of them are illegal.

So your saying use "Dark_AleX's Custom Firmware 2.71 SE-B" and i will be able to play most 2.8 games and still use the Cheat sync?

Downgrade. Use SE-B.
